First of all, I am a huge tekken fan - I more or less grew up with the series.. iv heard all the slags about it being a button masher already (and frankly, the people that say that just dont understand it / probably suck at it)
anyhoo.. I adored tekken 5, but by the time 6 rolled around, I started to feel the roster was getting a bit ridiculous.. none of the new characters captured my imagination (i get the feeling zafira would be great, if mastered, but still..) migel, with all his shoulder barges and overhand fists, just felt like a cross between marduk and king, and im sicked of being gimped by alisa players online..
I like to be at least competent with all the characters (as im sure most tekken fans do), and i feel like the less playable characters there are, the more character, or "personality", they each have - having all these new characters with no real style of their own, takes away from the game a little i feel.
this new character, coming in in tekken tag 2
just feels like a direct rip of the DOA female luchador character (and we already have a luchador- king!).. although people are hinting that its actually julia, which would be pretty cool
Anyway, to cut a long rant short, id like to see a tekken 3 approach to new games, where they get rid of old characters (like jun from tekken 2,) or replace some with very similar ones (like baek to hwoarang)
also, just a couple of ideas iv been toying with
1. create a character! - given the level of customisation they are bringing in it wouldnt be hard.. its choosing their moves id enjoy - a points system would be cool for this; "gimpy" moves like kazuya's roundhouse or lee's down o o o o would be quite expensive, but weaker or slower moves would be cheap.. you could unlock points to spend on new moves etc by playing arcade or whatever (and what game hasnt been improved by having rpg elements!?
)
2. weapons mode? i thought of this while thinking about the character thing- what if you wanted your character to have some of yoshi's sword moves? also when jin fights yoshi in the tekken live action movie (not unwatchable btw), he uses a glaive.. why no have an extra mode where all characters use weapons- soul calibre style? hell, they all already have custom weapons in tekken 6..
